As a carrier main (sort of), I have to say torpedo bomber is not the most friendly starting point for beginners. I recommend beginners to start with American tech tree line, as they are the easiest to play. Langley's air group is surprisingly good for its tier (in fact, when I started to grind IJN line, the only battle I lost with Hosho is when a Langley CV sniped me, oh well). T5 Bogue is an excellent practice platform for torpedo bombers as that ship is very forgiving. T6 independence is one of the best CV at its tier. The skill ceiling for it is quite high and there are a lot of competitive players using it in ranked games. Of course, T7-T8 is underwhelming due to premium carriers, but T9-T10 are decent, and in general more forgiving than IJN line. In any case, I am excited to see this channel featuring more carrier content.
Never crossed my mind the idea of using a carrier until I got Hoshō from mission crate. And I have the best win rate on carriers ever since. Always know the opponent's movements really helps your team and yourself. I'll just grind for RN CVs when the tech tree is available. With 2 torpedo bombers squad maybe we can do cross torps on high speed ships.
isnt it funny how langley has two dive bomber squadrons, hosho has one dive bomber and one torp bomber squadron and argus has two torp bomber squadrons
This is gonna be fun. Terry is playing cv again. Edit: You're driving me mad with all your aircraft turns. You don't seem to hit the return button before changing the target for torpedo bombers. Always press return button before turning the planes. Also, when a ship turns, it is better to hit them in whichever side of the ship is close to you. Rotate your torp bombers' target zone. Your bombers would take less time that way and the traget can't maneuver inside your torp drop zone to make them hit before arming. Also, target zone should be at least half a lenth ahead for cruisers and one/1.5 lenth ahead for DDs. Finally, you're not that bad. Your cv play is better than what I did in low tiers wih torpedoes.
I'm trying my hardest not to hit the "switch to carrier view" by accident when I'm retargeting squadrons - I'm aware of the "return - retarget" move, but I'll need some more practice XD I'm trying atm not to send out both torp sqads at the same time, so I don't have to do hectic manoeuvring to adjust aim on both, but send them in intervals. Still finding my balance.
@@FunandGameswithTerry yes, practice is essential for good CV handling. Also, Argus is not a good carrier. These torps are worse than Japanese ones and Japanese CV has far better dpm. Langley at least have a lot of bombs and firestarting capability.
I was surprised how well that works. Almost every other torpedo hit in the stern jams their rudder, which seems to be a great way of baiting damage control.
Being that she only has torpedo bombers she definitely won’t be friendly for new players who want to try out CV’s. This is because Torpedo squadrons have be constantly babysat in order to hit targets effectively. I’m definitely not a carrier player by any means but I have tried them out a bit more recently, and from my experience the American CV’s are probably the best for beginners.
Managing two torp squads has the upside of being able to target more precisely. I'm playing Hermes atm for next week, and I think the key is to space them out, so you only control one at a time.
I'm back to BLITZ, when I saw Argus, I was immediately surprised as it's not in PC version. I think Implacable will be at teir 9 in Blitz, and Indomitable's sister ship, Illustrious would be at teir 8, unlike in PC where Implacable is at teir 8. However, they might change plans as PC is planning to fit USS Yorktown in the tech tree, so Blitz might either add more premium carriers or would move odd teir carriers into a seperate line to fit it.
Lately i started playing CV as well. And now I’m on Lexington and I like it. I’m looking forward to get British CV. I think this chop sticks torp spreads could be fun. Sadly flooding chance is too small, so much efforts without reward.
Argus, along with hermes and furious dont seem to be very impressive ships They are notably harder to play than their USN and IJN counterparts due to having two torpedo bomber squadrons but their overall damage output does not seem much better Furious' fighters also seem to suck, poor damage and slow speed makes her struggle heavily against the three other T6 CVs Im assuming illustrious at T7 is the point where the line gets good
I haven't tried Furious yet, but Hermes is a struggle, she's got the lowest plane count of any T5 CV. Historically accurate, but doesn't help in a T6 game...
If u want to preserve planes shoot torps from further out against bb and a fake run towards a different target and get him from the back and make sure u do not overfly ships on return
Hey Terry…looking at this video, I must say I’m impressed with you. Facing your fears without your trusty wine bottle..good job. And to be frank in short summary…this is the Langleys British twin sister correct?
I'm not necessarily afraid of playing CV, it's just that it can get rather frustrating, and I feel like I'm letting my team down. Well, maybe it's time to git gud at last.
They're in early access in the Blitz pass, so they won't be available in the tech tree as long as the pass is active. Usually the next month. Effectively, you can pay money to get them a couple weeks earlier (plus the resources, of course)
I stopped that because I just couldn't keep up with reviews. I'm thinking of doing that again when I've at least got the T10 tech tree ships covered - it was about that time WG started pushing out new premiums every week, and that's what people were most interested in.
Later on i bet the tiny torp squads be eaten by aa.. fighters rarely any1 can use them.. so its fire spam from across the map.. gg wp.. at least they get ugliest grind ever 🤣 Whats wrong with all the bot matches now? Thats ugly
My dad served on the real Argus from 1940-43

THEY HAVE 2 TORPEDO BOMBERS, AND I NEED TO CONTROL THEM BOTH, I'VE GOT RANGER, AND ARGUS CONTROL IS HARDER THEN ARGUS

“Shooting off the Bayern’s rudder Bismarck style”.
What you did there….
I see it…
I was surprised how well that works. Almost every other torpedo hit in the stern jams their rudder, which seems to be a great way of baiting damage control.
i dont know why, but i want a feature that makes all swordfish invincible from the AA from bismarcks, because historical accuracy

ye langley is the easiest cv in the game in my opinion
Hey terry, you will make a republique review?
Yep, I'm trying to catch up with all the T10s, especially those that have been changed recently
Each T3 CV of nations:
American: All-out Dive Bomber
Japanese: Both Torp and Dive
British: All-out Torp

shooting rudders off makes it harder for more torp drops the ship is out of control so you need to position it right with a turning ship
Your heaps better at CV now Terry.
I remember the days when your torps wouldn't hit the side of a barn.

I love the Indomitable. I was excited for the British line too. Then....torpedoes for days. "Oh well" is right
I need to know what that music was in the opening against the Agincourt.
Argh, I forgot the link in the description again - it's "Drunken Sailor" by Cooper Cannell (seemed fitting)
@@FunandGameswithTerry How is it fitting? You weren't drunk this time.
Being a player, who enjoys all classes I like the new cv addition however I am disappointed that Argus wasn’t the free blitz pass
Eh, the full tree is going to come out in due time anyway. I think T6 is where it might start to get interesting anyway.
Im pretty bad with carriers myself, I usually only average 30k a battle with a tier 6 to 8 carrier
Low tier kinda works still, but the only CV I can do well in is Indomitable ;)
@@FunandGameswithTerry I'm going to keep trying, I think my best carrier game ever, I got 60k in a tier 8 carrier
@@alexwolfe3930 how many battles in CVs have you got? You get better with time.
If u want to preserve planes shoot torps from further out against bb and a fake run towards a different target and get him from the back and make sure u do not overfly ships on return
I'm at the stage where I actually need to try hitting BBs still...
You are not alone
I know you don’t like them, but it’s fun to watch you play carriers. You’re still better than I am! 🤣

I know what you mean….I am trying to be a good cv player….and at tier 8 with lady lex and the Shokaku is when it gets good
And if you do a review on something like the enterprise, you won’t regret it
That was entertaining Terry 😀 now go and watch the torpedo bombers guide I’ve sent you 😇
Terry give lead during ur Torp drops
Where did u get the furious and hermes???
blitz pass this month

It's got good concealment, so sitting back would be a waste...

Enjoying Indomitable? Unsubscribed.
bogue is literally better than this bruh
Bogue is literally 1 tier up than this. This is tier 4 and Bogue is tier 5.
no brain lol
